Conservation physiology today and tomorrow
نویسنده
چکیده
Some eight years ago Martin Wikelski and I started musing about how physiological knowledge and tools could be used to understand conservation problems. We were certainly not the first to do so, but we were able to codify the idea by coining the term ‘conservation physiology’ (Wikelski and Cooke, 2006), which has been embraced by many. When the leadership at the Society of Experimental Biology (SEB), including Tony Farrell, Craig Franklin, and Paul Hutchinson, embarked on a plan to launch a new journal, the topic of conservation physiology quickly rose to the top, given its timeliness and potential to engage both plant and animal researchers. That was nearly two years ago. Today I am thrilled to launch the second volume of the journal Conservation Physiology, published jointly by Oxford University Press (OUP) and the SEB. Here I briefly reflect on the first year (2013) of contributions to Conservation Physiology and consider what can be expected in 2014 and beyond.
